Geneva XS Demontage

Remove the battery by prying up the rear cover on the two slots

Disconnect charger (5.5V 2A)

The metal grille, in the front of the device by pry remove. Here is a thin plastic or metal object to use (in the picture is a letter opener to see), a coin is actually too thick. This can be a little hard!

There may be a splice on the floor, but in my case it did not resist.

Remove the six screws with a PH2 screwdriver

Now the electronics can be removed from the carcass.

With a PH1 screwdriver, the two remaining screws which hold the two larger boards arranged above each other can be removed.

The flat white plugs can be removed with a screwdriver from the board.

The width on the left edge of the device is held in place with a brown clip that can be easily pulled out. Thereafter, the flat cable is directly loose.

When removing the board, be sure to watch out for the soldered cables, which will not let you play too much.

Below are two black spacers (plastic) to light. Can be removed by hand or with tweezers.

Now the media panel can be removed together with the bottom chip. It is essential to pay attention to the plug contacts between them. (see 2nd picture)

Next, the board is located on the charging socket sits. To do this, remove the adhesive pads.

This can then easily be deducted upwards.

The assembly is actually the same backwards.

Clean the area around the controls THOROUGHLY because they are otherwise always "activated".
